Nasal Fracture Symptoms

With a broken nose, you have the choice to fix it or leave it alone. When you make this decision, it’s important to consider two things – how it looks and how it works. If you’re experiencing headaches, breathing problems, or drainage (following a broken nose), you should consider having your nose straightened. At Advanced ENT & Allergy Center, we can fix your broken nose, whether your injury happened today or 50 years ago.

Alleviate Symptoms and Look Like New

If you think your nose is broken, or you are experiencing ongoing symptoms from a previous break, we offer several treatment options. First, we’ll do a total examination of the nose and sinuses, either in person or through a telehealth appointment, to determine the cause of your symptoms and offer the best options. Our treatments include:

Medication: Some broken noses just require rest, ice, and medication to alleviate symptoms.

Septoplasty Surgery: A surgical procedure that straightens the septum from the inside to improve breathing, drainage, and headaches.

Nose surgery: A surgical procedure that straightens the bones on the outside to get the results you want.

Frequently Asked Questions about Broken Nose Treatment

+ Should I fix my broken nose?

This decision is entirely up to you. If your nose looks different because of your injury, you may want to have it reset. If you’re experiencing ongoing problems like headaches, breathing issues, or drainage – you should also consider having your septum straightened. Talk with a doctor.

+ What does a deviated septum surgery entail?

Septoplasty surgery can be done in-office with oral sedation. After a local numbing agent takes effect the surgery takes about an hour. It almost never requires packing and typically causes little pain. The procedure is covered by most health insurance plans.

What Our Patients are Saying About Us

"My husband had been dealing with chronic nasal/head congestion for several years. As always, he was provided prescriptions by his M.D. for antibiotics, which rarely did him any good. His first visit to Dr. Menachof solved the problem on the spot. He had broken his nose over 50 years previously and should have had surgery at that time, but didn't of course. Nevertheless, Dr. Menachof examined him, explained the situation, gave him some remedial medications and explained the home treatment process he was going to have to follow to take care of the problem… and it most certainly has!! Dr. Menachof definitely walks on water."
